*About the Christian Aid Center:*
With more than 75 years of rescuing and restoring lives in the Walla Walla Valley, the Christian Aid Center—Walla Walla Rescue Mission (CAC) is one of the first places that hurting individuals seek when in time of need and despair.
In 1946, CAC started as a soup kitchen and chapel for men, and in time evolved into a homeless shelter.
Today, while we still address the same basic needs of sheltering and feeding needy men, women and children; we ultimately offer the opportunity for real-life change through long-term recovery programs.
An average of 60 individuals find refuge at our shelter every night, and we provide breakfast and dinner daily for anyone in our community who is hungry—resulting in more than 47,000 meals served every year.
Other services include food giveaway, childcare, wellness clinic, barbershop, life-transformation programs, referrals, spiritual encouragement and volunteer opportunities.
